What I don't understand is how we can withdraw without some guarantee that al Qa'ida will not set up bases in Iraq. Otherwise, we will simply have to re-invade. 1. MTG seems to think we would reinvade, if necessary

2. Even if we wouldnt, we have to ask if we are weakening AQ enough by staying in Iraq X more years, then we would by using the resources elsewhere. I dont think MTGs case is ironclad, depending on what you think of the political movement in Iraq, or of the ease of reinvasion. But it certainly has a logical structure such that it could strongly make sense, if you grant certain empirical assumptions.
